Abstract excerpt
A chondrogenic cell line, TC6, was established by using cells derived from articular cartilage of transgenic mice harboring a temperature-sensitive mutant simian virus (SV) 40 large T-antigen gene. TC6 cells express genes encoding proteins related to cartilage phenotypes such as type II collagen. To examine the in vivo behavior of the TC6 cells, these cells were implanted into cavity-shaped full-thickness defects...
